By no means does this mean that masonry only helps men. Masonry helps those in need, it is a "fraternity" which strives to assist the communities in which there is a need. You may have misunderstood the premise behind the post. Freemasonry is restricted to male membership, adjunct bodies have been established for the ladies of masons. This doesn't mean that masonry will not or does not help females, merely that females are not permitted to become members of the fraternity.
